US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.
The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.
Much alive. Many convince.
This is the best one I’ve seen yet. It has the correct players.
If there was ever a time to use AI to cover the truth, it would be now.
I’ve seen posts all over from people using AI to generate similar photos.
it can’t be ruled out.
Graham happened to fast and unexpectedly for them to weekend at bernies him, but they’ve had plenty of time to prep for McConnell.
I feel like they used AI when Trump first had the face droop and needed to make that speech. Was that confirmed?
Edit: droop, not drool
Notice that ever since then he’s had the droop.
Maybe half of his face suddenly stopped believing his bullshit.
I’m only casually following us politics but what would the advantage of delaying announcing his death be (and why wouldn’t the same apply to Lindsey Graham).
It’s about trying to maintain as much control over the senate as possible before the midterms hit. If he really died there would have to be a special election for a temporary senator. If it were a Democrat win, it might be hard to displace them as there’s rarely movement of who sits in a senate seat.
I looked into the timeline and there are still some unanswered questions. McConnell was hospitalized after his fall on June 14, 2026. Elaine Chao reportedly left for China on June 17, 2026, and the “proof of life” photo with her was posted on July 12, 2026.
when was that photo actually taken? The original photo file and metadata haven’t been released, so nobody outside his team can verify the date or time it was taken.
If it’s such a big fucking deal you’d think there’d be a very simple fucking way to verify it.
In EITHER CASE, is he fit for office? I don’t fucking see him in it!
No idea, and you’re right: more questions are raised than answered, IMO. The photo was released along with a written statement via McConnell’s Senate web page.
What do you mean? They awkwardly photoshopped a recent newspaper page into the photo. That should be more than enough proof!
when was that photo actually taken?
Does this help?
You know how I know it’s fake? Because he’s smiling.
Well, he’s in a hospital. Maybe he just saw a little kid die and it lifted his spirits.
Didn’t a report say the EMT’s were performing CPR?
Im sure performing cpr on an 84 year old leaves them withou any injuries/bruising/broken ribs…
When I was taught CPR they said that, if you do apply the needed amount of force that you will almost certainly break a rib. Ain’t no way in hell a 84 year old will survive CPR without a broken rib
Thats what I remember from the CPR classes I took, including one where I broke the dummy. 😬
One of his phylacteries was discovered and destroyed. That’s why he passed out, it was part of his soul returning to the body.
Then meet with the Kentucky governor
@BioDriver @ChunkMcHorkle Still no proof. It looks like an old picture and about 7 years ago I said all it takes is a photochopped picture for magas to believe anything and that’s been ongoing.
Oh I absolutely agree that it looks like photoshop, but I’m saying if he’s claiming to be alive then the KY Gov should try scheduling a face to face meeting
@BioDriver Yep. You were totally clear. I agree that Beshear needs contact with the live body. In the meantime, he’s dead based on all the lies circulating from the wh and chao.
Yeah, I don’t believe he is well. At his age, a fall and CPR aren’t going to let him live that much longer if the news reports are correct.
Then again, in a fascist country, we can’t trust the news, so who the hell knows.
In my time spent as a nurse, and I guess also just as a person alive for 45 years, elderly people taking a fall is the beginning of the end. The cascade of events that occur as a result of the initial fall is tantamount in my view to terminal cancer. That’s the end. There is no substantial recovery and problems compound.
Stay upright out there!
In a word? Bullshit.
It’s a good thing lindsey graham died, or else the collective disappointment over this fucker living would’ve sent the U.S. into open revolt
…shit
Is much rather the US just openly revolt. Get it over with already and stop dragging everyone through this shitshow with them
I wonder what odds they give at Kalshi because I know this fucker is dead.
Why a photo? Video is cheaper than chips: record a 10 second video where he says “hello.”
“We said he was alive, not that he wasn’t nonverbal…”
OMG, can he just die already? Like seriously, c’mon.
He’s dead Jim. See Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch. Button down shirt in a hospital?? Where is the IV that everyone has in a hospital. Angles are all wrong. That photo is Ai as hell.
He looks fresher and healthier than he’s been in the past twenty fucking years.
NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THAT.
@generic_computers @ChunkMcHorkle We don’t know what he is at this time. Really.
I know he’s a conservative evil fucking parasite, I do know that.
Edit: I have the same feeling like when you were a teenager and you bought oregano thinking it was weed and one of your pals is like no no just smoke some more maybe it’ll just take some time to kick in.
BITCH you got scammed.
@anarchy79 I agree with you that they’re parasites.
I never had anyone try bringing me oregano to smoke. But I understand your analogy that it takes time to kick in for most people. I’ve seen this comin’ since the early 2000s when white ppl would be freaking out about the demographics showing they were going into a minority.
Reports were coming out about fascism getting us since around 2010. Saw those, too.
I’ll take the bite out of the apple. How do you believe I was scammed?
What the fuck was his wife doing in China meeting with the top CCCP leaders?
Reporting to her masters that their highest ranking asset was lost.
I am sure her sudden return was just to make this photo happen.
Who believes this? Wasn’t his wife in China?
She was so concerned about her husband’s health she left the country.
Once they invent airplanes that allow a person to go from China to the US, this picture would be believable.
That’s cute. Dude is in jeans and the 911 video shows him unresponsive. Be real
He is apparently not on an IV so this could well be some sort of rehab (PT/OT)
I’m mildly skeptical but picture is plausible.
“I’m sure they’ll come back with the drugs any moment now. We paid them, after all!”
I need 10 minutes of full motion video and audio with questions from thrust d news orgs…or no
